The Blackburn Shark
A switch of scenery to battle scene at sea, brings another British torpedo plane in action. .
What is strange about this picture, is that it looks like a single seater, while in fact, like the Swordfish, it was a three seater naval airplane. :-?
"The Blackburn Shark was a British carrier-borne torpedo bomber built by the Blackburn Aircraft company in England. It first flew on 24 August 1933 and went into service with the Fleet Air Arm, Royal Canadian Air Force, Portuguese Navy, and the British Air Observers' School, but was already obsolescent in 1937 and in the following year, replacement by the Fairey Swordfish began."
